RESPIRO

BY EMANUELE CRIALESE

ITALIE/FRANCE, 2003, 90min

WITH VALERIA GOLINO, VINCENZO AMATO

A whimsical young mother is in love with the freedom which is stifled in the social prison of a Small Sicilian Island. In Lampedusa, life is a long calm river : reassuring, charming but equally cruel. Grand Prix at International critics week, prix du public, prix de la jeune critique at the Cannes film festival, 2002. RESPIRO is a magnificent portrait of a woman, full of poetry and Mediteranean warmth, a moving and timeless story.
